Parameters

Query parameters

Useful optional inputs

  • date_posted — Choose the documented source window for recent results; coverage can still be incomplete.

    The normal endpoint price applies; this does not buy a complete date archive.

  • fit — Use fit=goal with a task description to replace confidently irrelevant records with recall stubs and reduce agent context.

    No fit surcharge; full evidence is retained for 24 hours when stored, and the response size target is soft.

  • dry_run — Read a free estimate before fetching sources or scheduling paid work.

    Zero credits; cache status and availability are snapshots rather than guarantees.

NameRequiredDescriptionExample
querynoRequired for the first page (title is an accepted alias). A returned cursor can continue the original search without query. Preserve the original filters when continuing.data engineer
locationnoCountry or city; worldwide when emptyLondon
organization_idsnoOrganisation ids from jobs/linkedin/organizations1441
date_postednomonth, week or day Accepted values: month, week, day. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.week
employment_typesnocontractor, fulltime, parttime, intern or temporary Accepted values (comma-separated): contractor, fulltime, parttime, intern, temporary. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.fulltime
experience_levelsnointern, entry, associate, midSenior or director Accepted values (comma-separated): intern, entry, associate, midSenior, director. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.midSenior
workplace_typesnoremote, hybrid or onSite Accepted values (comma-separated): remote, hybrid, onSite. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.remote
cursornoCursor from the previous page
dry_runnoRead a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. Accepted values: 1, 0, true, false. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.1
judgmentsnoAdd bounded AI labels to eligible returned records (default on). off preserves the original data shape. Unclassified records remain present; labels depend on evidence, time, capacity and the existing request budget. No label surcharge. Accepted values: on, off. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.on
labelnoSet none to disable labels; default enables the endpoint’s label set. Equivalent to judgments=off. Accepted values: default, none. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.none
label_evidencenoInclude exact supporting sentences and zero-based sentence indexes when a label has validated evidence. No extra charge or change to decisions. Accepted values: 1, 0, true, false. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.1
excludenoOptionally remove confidently labelled engagement bait. Uncertain and unclassified records stay; removed IDs and an owner-bound recall reference are returned. Accepted values: engagement_bait. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.engagement_bait
fitnoUse goal to replace confidently irrelevant records with recall stubs. Keeps first, last, relevant and uncertain records; preserves order. Full evidence is stored for 24 hours when available. Accepted values: goal. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable.goal
goalnoRequired with fit=goal: describe the task in at most 600 characters. Supplied text is task context, never permission to act on posts.Find concrete product complaints
tokensnoOptional soft response target for fit=goal, 256–32000. Safety and evidence retention take priority, so the returned result may exceed it.4000

Response

Response fields and example

This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.

200 · application/json
{
  "success": true,
  "platform": "linkedin",
  "endpoint": "/v1/linkedin/search-jobs",
  "data": {
    "items": [],
    "count": 0,
    "cursor": null
  },
  "credits_used": 3,
  "credits_remaining": 99,
  "request_id": "req_…",
  "cached": false
}

The example is illustrative and shows a documented subset of data. The fields below are optional across supported sources; nullable fields can also be absent. Preserve unknown values and accept additional fields.

Schema basis: reviewed response shaper. See schema coverage and validation limits.

Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.

Location filtering can shorten a page. Search descriptions are optional; linkedin/job returns the full description where available.

Failures use the typed error envelope. A confirmed uncharged or refunded failure reports zero; a pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. Read credits_used and error.details.billing_status, and keep request_id for recovery. Response contract · Error reference
